08 Toy Box

An edition of twenty-two interactive cubes that use light, tactile sculpture, and QR-linked animation to demystify the relationship between oral hygiene and systemic wellness.

“"Toy Box" Twenty two artist multiples sculptures of four inch cubes, each filled with dental educational materials. The Q.R. code information, explains that oral gram negative “Porphyromonas gingivalis” bacteria attack your Heart and Brain. The other Q.R. code is a funny cartoon about the gram positive bacteria “Streptococcus mutans” attacking teeth and being neutralized by xylitol. An antibacterial xylitol sachet is included to help prevent tooth decay. A 'touchy feely' educational sculpture lights up the brain, heart and floss “toy’s”. ”
